Bunco Five & Four

As with some of the photography problems as stated yesterday, these crummy photography problems continue {frown}

I kept the colors of these two prizes soft, sweet, and vintage-y, that way they kept with the over-all look of vintage, shabby-chic farmland!

Prize number Five!

Ok, you have seen this prize before.  It is an altered vase (glass bottle) for the distressed hand-made paper flowers.  HERE are some previous photos of the paper flowers.

Prize number Four

This prize was shared earlier, too!  HERE is a few photographs of this altered frame with quilted insert!  For the gift card, I added a layer of vellum to the sweet floral pattern paper.  I heat embossed some doilies onto the vellum to keep a sweet, feminine look.  I added a button card label for the banner.

Paper Dream Blossoms

What a gorgeous day!  I had the most lovely lunch with two very special girl friends.  Both of whom have taught me so much about friendship, paper crafting, and business.  It is from their encouragement, that I have taken another leap in expanding my paper crafting hobby/business, and to further my teaching.  I am writing a few tutorials to be published.  

But, before I tackle that venture, I wanted to share my latest 'love'.  Hand-made paper flowers.

After our lunch, I headed straight for my craft room, and to create more of these paper blossoms.  I sat down and made six different colors of these beautiful paper Dream blossoms.  Since these paper flowers are hand-made, each one is unique, so no two will be a carbon copy of the other. 

At first, I wasn't quite sure what to name them.  I had used these paper flowers on a card that I made for a challenge earlier this week. I used the sentiment that I stamped on the card: Dream.  And now, these hand-made, paper flowers are for sale in my Etsy shop, found here.  They are officially named: Dream Blossoms.  I made a pair in green, blue, pink, purple, yellow, and grey.  Each pair of paper Dream blossoms are sold on a hand-stamped button card.  A paper Dream blossom measures approximate 2" wide and 1" tall.  I used Stampin' Up! card stock, classic inks, and shimmer paint to create these unique and one-of-a-kind paper flowers.  If you need a specific color, i.e. pretty in pink, old olive, pool party, soft sky, etc, please contact me privately, either at my Etsy shop here or @ bachnucmed@excite.com

I hope this weekend is wonderful for you!  I am off to my craft room, to create a different style paper blossom.  I'm excited to start this new venture!
